From Chilean Patagonia
Ulmo Honey is honey made when bees forage on the nectar of the flowering Ulmo tree, which is native to Chilean Patagonia. The region has a worldwide reputation as a “clean & green” place, as it has been barely touched by the impact of human development.
Nature's Most Powerful Honey™
Research performed by 1998 L’Oréal-UNESCO Award for Women in Science winner, Dr. Gloria Montenegro Rizzardini, identified the high antibacterial power of Ulmo honey. Ulmo honey has been termed “Nature’s Most Powerful Honey™” for its high antibacterial properties.
How our Ulmo Honey is made
1. Flowering Ulmo Trees
Ulmo honey is made from the flowering Ulmo tree, which is native to Chilean Patagonia. The Ulmo tree has a white flower called the Ulmo flower. The Ulmo trees are typically in bloom during February and March, at a time when there are no other flowers around making it the only available nectar for the bees in the region.
2. Bees Transform Ulmo Nectar into Ulmo Honey
We place our hives into areas with a high concentration of wild Ulmo trees in some of the most remote and pristine wilderness of Chilean Patagonia. Our bees forage nectar among the native trees in these areas to create Bee Ulmo honey.
3. Harvesting and Packing Bee Ulmo Honey
We harvest and extract the honey in small batches. We only use unprocessed and unfiltered raw Patagonian Ulmo honey. We don’t use any additives or artificialingredients to maintain its purity and creamy texture. We never heat up or mix our honey in order to keep its anti-bacterial properties, vitamins, minerals and enzymes intact.
4. How Do We Know It Is APF Certified Ulmo Honey?
After our Ulmo Honey is extracted, an independent laboratory from Catholic University of Chile tests each batch. This is how we ascertain:
A) it is mono-floral Ulmo honey, and
B) which APF certification (50+, 100+, 150+ or 200+) the batch is. The higher the factor, the better antibacterial properties of the honey.
The Benchmark for Authentic Ulmo Honey.
At Bee Ulmo, we have always built our reputation on delivering raw, pure, and genuinely authentic Ulmo Honey. Our dedication to these qualities goes beyond what any certification requires.
